Scanalyzer High Throughput Plant Phenotyping
17 Oct 2006The LemnaTec Scanalyzer 3 D for use in greenhouses represents a next generation step change and will increase throughput, remove subjectivity from assay scoring and decrease laborious scoring tasks.
The core-technology has been used for toxicology experiments, pesticide notification, wastewater monitoring, plant health assessment, phenotyping and screening of GMOs and active ingredients in high throughput bioassays. The hardware is flexible enough to transition between numerous assay types and arenas as well as presenting true "walk away" automation. The software is extremely versatile and well established for numerous assay types.
This special Scanalyzer is designed to work in a common greenhouse. It can handle plants up to 1,5 meter size. With the special rotating device plants can be screened from all sides.
In combination with the LemnaTec SAW Bonit Software the following parameters can be measured as single parameters as well as growth rate:
- Size of plant
- Numbers of leaves
- Internodial distance and number of nods
- Growth architecture (angels of leaves etc)
